Grrrrr moments

My entire day was spent waiting.

Waiting for 7 friggin' hours in a government office for a clearance that could have been made in just an hour.

Waiting for one boss to make up his mind and sign one of my contracts. In a day, there were 3 revisions in the dang contract which have already been revised 5 times over a period of 6 months. And they want me to reach my targets of store openings for the entire year.

Putang ina.

Waiting for another boss for my team's cash reimbursements and for the decision to roll out another store opening.

Waiting... and waiting for me to reach my team's targets so I could bargain a raise - which I know is a loooong shot.

Sometimes, I can't help but mull over my career options. All the aggravations, the stress and the pressure are not proportionate to my compensation. At the end of the day, I can't help but feel that this is all not fuckin' worth it.

Two more long semesters to go and I'll be getting my Master's degree. From there, I can already device a contingency plan. Where I'm going, what I really want to do.

Minsan tuloy, I'm already getting tempted to accept The Boyfriend's offer to fly to Sydney and just live a quiet life there being a stay-at-home wife cum mom with a consultancy on the side.

Hey, I love being the on-the-go career girl that I have been for the past 7 years. But right now, I am not sure if I am in the right place. I know there is something better OUT there.

Calling all my friends who have job openings and vacancies. Yuhooooo! I'm over here!

Summer wishlist

I'm back from my vacation. Barely 30 minutes in Metro Manila, I could already feel the heat getting into me. Mainit na naman ang ulo ko --- thinking of my long list of to-dos at work. Not to mention one more paper that I have to finish for school. Aaaarg. When will all this be over?

Anyway, to make myself feel better and with the escapist in me trying to let loose, I browsed through my favorite online shopping sites and found these yummy eye candies. The cool colors would just make you chill!

And if after a week I'd still feel exhausted from Manila's scorching heat, I will treat myself with some retail therapy. Woohoo!
